INGALLS, VS.. WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

As usual with opponents of woman
suffrage, Senator Ingalls, denies that
suffrage is the right Of anybody.
Govern nient il mere matter of brute
force. Taxation is larceny, legiti.
mate only because irresistible. Ma.
jorities command respect only because
each vote represents . possible bay
onet. Therefore women, not being
capable of military service, ought not
to be counted. This theory rests
upon afallasy. As . matter Of fact
brute force, except in exceptional
cases and in state Of savagery, does
not control and never has controlled
mankind. Hon. John d. Long says;
